In the Lua programming language, we can use various control statements. This includes the **numeric `for`** statement.  

#   
#  Syntax 
The syntax is as follows.

---
```lua
for Name ‘=’ initial_value ‘,’ limit [‘,’ step] 
do
   -- code
end
```
---

# 
## Parameters

The `initial_value` is used to specify the value on which our counter will be initialized.
 
The `limit` is used to specify the final number of our iteration.

The `step` (not mandatory) is used to specify the number that will be added to our counter each iteration. By default, it is `1`.

##
## Code

In this example, we will see how to enumerate numbers from $0$ to $10$.

for i = 0, 10, 1 -- '1' is not required here 
do 
   print(i)
end

#       
#  Output

---
```
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
```
---

##
## Explanation

The `for` statement in line $1$ causes line $3$ to be executed repeatedly until the value of `i` becomes equal to $10$. 

Consequently, all the values of `i` in the range $0$ to $10$ are printed.

How to use a numeric for statement in Lua

Use Lua's numeric for statement to iterate from an initial value to a limit, with an optional step.
